Chapter 14: The Instinct to Pray for Love
"Yes, yes! This gentleman saved all of our lives! ”
In front of the camera, the middle-aged captain rubbed his hands, revealing an excited face: "It's not just us, not only everyone on this empty boat, but also the innocent people on the ground!" ”
He looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with dove-winged features on his sideburns.
This means that his spiritual relatives are some kind of animal of the order Pigeon.
Generally speaking, the captain of an airship will only choose from "pigeons" - at least with the ability of pigeons to sense the planet's magnetic field. Above the sea, far away from the floating island, the airboat cannot receive the network signal of the island, and cannot link to the map for navigation.
Once the airboat leaves the island, it will not even be able to resupply unless it arrives on the new island.
The land is full of radiation and curses, and the other floating islands are far away......
This means that these captains, who sail between the islands, can only navigate through experience and instinct.
Therefore, those mercenaries did not dare to kill the captain directly.
Unless there are "pigeons" among them, they can only fall into the endless sea.
There are no planes in this world - the dragons strictly set the limit altitude of manned vehicles, so with the exception of helicopters near the ground, the only way to transport them across the sea is to use airboats. And without the Internet, it is basically impossible to find a rescue target in the vast sea...... On his own, it is even more impossible to climb back to the floating island from the sea.
Therefore, as long as you fall into the sea, you can directly pronounce death.
"The airship had just left Sogo Island not far from that time, and those people came and kidnapped me - my co-pilot and assistant, and they killed me directly!"
The man said excitedly.
"What happened?"
Xiao Liuli asked.
"They came with guns and threatened us. And tied me to a chair so I couldn't fire flares to contact the ground.
"I saw them give my co-pilot a shot or something, and then I heard him stop. The thug then used the physical link protocol to get his permission and left him and my assistant behind. They asked me to fly as slowly as possible, to go around in circles, to arrive at Happiness Island as late as possible......
"I was tied up and couldn't do anything but control the direction of the airboat. Can't accelerate, can't slow down, can't lift or land...... I can only obey them! ”
"Yes, I understand......"
Xiao Liuli used a very gentle voice to softly comfort the captain who was panting violently and his body was trembling a little: "What about after that?" What did they do after stealing the co-pilot's authority? ”
"It seems to be...... What program was passed. It was supposed to be some kind of virus that could put people to sleep, as they mentioned later on the air. ”
The captain was not very clear about this, so he could only explain as much as he could: "The second and third cabins are public cabins, but the first class cabins are independent cabins. First-class guests who want to enter or leave their room or purchase any service will use a temporary generated, disposable electronic key. This electronic key is authorized by a personal authentication code and can be deducted directly from the personal account, so it can be securely linked.
"They used a virus, infected this electronic key, and made all the first-class guests fall asleep - except for this hero!"
The captain said, looking at Russell with adoration and gratitude.
Hearing this, the staff wearing sunglasses behind Xiao Liuli immediately followed the captain's gaze and pointed the camera and microphone at Russell who was standing next to Amirus.
Although it was also the first time Russell had been interviewed on this scale.
But in his previous life, as a public relations manager, his long-term experience in dealing with the media made Russell instinctively have just the right weak smile on his face.
His body tilted slightly, arched as if trying to hide his wounded back. But because of the pain, I subconsciously straightened my back.
Of course, these are actually Russell's acting skills.
- Although Russell is still a little resistant to being the kind of "entertainment hero" that Bad Day calls it.
But his rationality was clear that he could only do this.
It is impossible for a bad day to act openly, and it is even more impossible for him to morally kidnap a bad day and force him to save the passengers;
He couldn't have fled with Bad Day, leaving these innocent passengers alone;
And since he has already done it, he can only become a "hero", otherwise he will be charged with murder.
From the very beginning, he had no choice.
So, even if you feel uncomfortable, even if you don't recognize it so much...... In front of outsiders and the media, Russell will never drop the chain because of willfulness or bad mood.
What he is best at is to strip away his personal tendencies and carry out the most rational and effective public relations treatment at work.
This is the "likable" instinct he has cultivated since a long, long time ago.
Not with dignity or gifts, but with wisdom and true affection – that is, reason and instinct.
If you decide to do it, you have to do your best. Instead of worrying and hesitating, he played the field that others had already laid for him.
From the moment Russell saw Xiao Liuli, he began to adjust himself.
If the other party's level is not enough, I am afraid that he will not be aware of Russell's small actions at all.
But Russell guessed correctly, the cameraman brother was very dedicated - he immediately gave a close-up of Russell's somewhat weak, but still strong smile, and then stepped to Russell's side in two steps, keeping the camera not shaking at all, and gave a close-up of Russell's blood-soaked back.
Russell's peripheral vision saw his own lens and confirmed his image from the screen of the pink helicopter outside through the glass of the observation window of the captain's room.
Until this point, Amirus's face had not appeared on the screen. At most, only half of his body appeared, and his pointed ears were not photographed.
This is clearly the result of deliberate control.
Russell had a good idea of the level of this group of media reporters at that time.
This wave, we are meeting the masters.
After all, predicting this kind of thing can only be given to masters...... The low-end bureau can be crushed directly. If you think about mille-feuille, you can easily become a clown.
In Russell's opinion, the level of Xiao Liuli's group seems to be okay.
"Really a very valiant and handsome young hero, it seems that he was not lightly injured in the fight against the gangsters from the Tower of Babel!"
Xiao Liuli first gave a positive tone for the first time.
Immediately, she asked curiously, "I want to ask...... The...... Well, teenager, is it also a guest in first class? ”
The implication is that he was preparing to ask Russell questions like, "How are you okay when everyone else is asleep?"
-- Journalists are the eyes and tongues of the people.
The questions they are curious about, the reporter has to ask for them. In Russell's case, the question is unavoidable.
“…… Yes. ”
Russell replied softly, responding with as few words as possible.
He chooses to make a softer and more transparent voice than usual, so as to show the posture of a "polite boy" who is a little weak, but he is strong enough to maintain his manners: "Although it may look younger...... But I've actually been an adult for several years. ”
In terms of your own personal image, this should be more flattering.
At the same time, it is also to convey to Xiao Liuli and the people on the other side of the camera that his energy and physical strength have been exhausted when he fights these bandits.
In this way, with Xiao Liuli's emotional intelligence, he will definitely not keep holding on to Russell and keep asking. Because she also knows...... It's fine if you ask something. If she hadn't asked, people would have disgusted her for being "ignorant". The more they liked Russell, the greater the dislike.
As an "idol journalist" who maintains her own personality, she categorically will not do such an act that endangers herself.
Xiao Liuli was really as Russell expected, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to pick up Russell's words:
"When I first saw you, I was actually surprised......"
"Because I look ...... Young? ”
Russell answered softly.
He showed a somewhat shy expression, but replied seriously: "But I have actually graduated from Sogo University and obtained a master's degree. ”
"I can't see it!"
Xiao Liuli's emotion this time was a little more sincere: "Sogo University is one of the most difficult universities to get into!" I would like to ask, what is your major......"
"Ah, I'm a double degree master."
Russell's voice was a little quieter, as if he was embarrassed to brag about himself, and added in a low voice: "Prosthetic assembly and maintenance majors, as well as information security majors." ”
"These two majors are two of the best three majors at Sogo University!"
Xiao Liuli helped Russell on the side, touting in front of the audience: "Prosthetic assembly and maintenance, as well as information security and intelligence control, these three specialties are the most advantageous technologies of Sogo Group!" ”
Of course, her words are not false. These are indeed two of the best majors at Sogo University.
Otherwise, even if he had an uncle who had never met him as a director on the side of Tianen Group, it would be impossible for him to directly arrange for him to work in the head office.
If something goes wrong with him, it will definitely damage the resources that his uncle has accumulated in the company over the years.
"Such a weak and excellent boy has such courage in the face of crisis-"
The pink-haired cat-eared girl sighed so emotionally.
She also realized that this boy, who looked very weak and looked like a milk cat, was not something she could easily handle.
But the questions that need to be asked are still to be asked.
In a more tactful way, she asked: "So, is it also related to your professional knowledge that you can get rid of the control of the virus in the first place?" ”
This is actually helping Russell cushion.
Russell only had to vaguely respond, and the topic was over.
After all, it is not surprising that a double master's degree from Sogo University can do this kind of thing - at least those ordinary people who don't know much about the Tower of Babel, as well as Xiao Liuli herself, don't realize that there is something wrong with this answer.
However, Russell knew that the virus in the Tower of Babel was fundamentally unsolvable.
So there's no way he's going to pick up the conversation.
So Russell changed his words -
